Welcome to the first installment of HipDigIt PicksIt. Each week this football season, HipDigIt will provide gambling insight and his picks for college and professional football (for more than entertainment puposes).

"I suppose it all started in 1973. I was introduced to a local bar owner that took "action." I promptly made four, $200 plays. This was easy. I won all four. It was meant to be wasn't it? I picked up my money on the following Wednesday. This was problematic. I (we) had a net worth of about $163. Well, I knew I'd win, right? I had to keep it from my wife so I put my winnings upstairs in the lining of a sports coat, but not before an act of largess by me of laying a loose $40 on the bride who was tickled at the prospect of the mad money. If nothing else I am a "gent".

There's no question that I am mortgaging the house and betting against every one of Hip's picks.

Nice work, Hip.

I'm more of an NFL guy myself, but I'm interested in seeing how you do with your picks.

The opening Saturday of the '07/'08 season. Like a kid in a candy store I am.

nice job, Hip. great intro story for the 8/31 posting. :D

Michigan State U.(-21) vs. UAB
I'm sure I'll be accused of drinking the Green-Ade on this one. So be it. UAB was 3-9 last year. They have a QB, Sam Hunt, returning who threw for 2 TD's and 5 INT's. Uh, that's not supposed to be the way it works. They have a new coach who will do what he can with 4 returning starters on each side of the ball. As putrid as they've been this might not be a bad thing. The mood is fever pitch in East Lansing as the throngs are hungry to see a new attitude. Dantonio has them ready. What "Cowboy" left in the cupboard is not nearly as sparse as the critics out there say. UAB has an undersized line and MSU will run at will. Coach Narduzzi, the DC, is going to want his "D" to set the tone for things to come. This one won't be pretty.
TAKE MSU -21

I totally agree, Hip. I think State could rush for 400 yards tomorrow and win by 45-50 pts. Same story for U of M.

State? Maybe.

U of M? Never. Lloyd is going to get up by two or three touchdowns and then just run the clock to get the game over with so he can be "a good sport." No reason not to run up the score, right?

Fuck that Lloyd. Stop doing the honorable thing and stoop to the level of the assholes. I'd be all for being a good sport if it didn't hurt you overall. Bob Stoops and Pete Carroll run up the score whenever they can so they can get a couple extra points in the voting process. It's time to do the same, Lloyd.

September 7, 2007

What an opening weekend! Though I'm sure you that if lean Blue, that you would just as soon forget about it. Understood, but I'm still pissed that there was no "number" on the game. Uh, as they say, "moving forward"…

Not a terrible opening weekend, 5-3 against the spread. I have some "woulda’, coulda', shoulda'" I could lay on you (like Brian Johnson, starting Utah QB, and the sole reason I picked them, separating his shoulder early... Waaaaaah!!) which is about one-third the fun of gambling, but I'll spare you more gory details.

Nice job, Hip.

I'm betting my house on your picks this weekend.

No pressure.

Nice job, Hip.

I'm betting my house on your picks this weekend.

No pressure.

Thank you but hold onto the house until Monday late. I may need a place and I'm not above migrating North to the Motherland. Let's see how it goes. Pass the Thorazine please.

Fuckin' A Hip. I still have you beat by about a C-Hair of a star.

I am playing your Tigers play and im playing the Eagles. Wish me luck

Nice job, Hip.

I'm betting my house on your picks this weekend.

No pressure.

I can sure explain the many benefits of living in a dumpster.

I would like to formally apologize for my "Over 64" play in todays U of M game. I was under the distinct impression that since the game was to be played in A2 that the Wolfos would be participating.

If Oregon hadn't called off the dogs, you would have been MONEY. Not a bad call at all, except you should have gone with what you know and just taken Oregon.

Nice job, Hip.

I'm betting my house on your picks this weekend.

No pressure.

Let's see. You prolly have a $375K Crib so the quick Catlick School Math spits out $37,500 coming my way. All in a weeks work "G". Only happy to be of service. Then again you can double up on my Cincy pic tomorrow night and really hit it out of the park. I love this game.

Hip,

Of course, I was kidding when I said I was using your picks, not that it's not smart to.

I made five picks this weekend for some alpacas and went 5-0 (Ball St., Indiana, Steelers, Cowboys, Chargers).

Maybe I need to put some real jack on the line instead. Haven't done that since my old Intertops.com days back in 1995-6 or so.

Okay Glenn, hold off on the house key for another week. Zip Goshboots, fold those egg cartons back up. No need for the bedroll in the dumpster outside the Woodman Building in Omaha this week. 'Ole Hip goes a rock solid 7-1 in Week 2 which makes for an overall record of 12-4. I am, however, tempering my enthusiasm. You see I've seen this movie before. The white hot start luring me into thinking "this is the year." The getaway bungalow on Martha's Vineyard may be within my grasp. The sexy crib down the road from Mikey Douglas and "Okrah" in Montecito, Ca. just a 4 team teaser away? Nope. None of that. I am sober and quite aware that I am banging this out on a keyboard from Daytona Beach, Fl. This, the home of the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash survivors. Home of the mullet, uneven sideburns, summer teeth, multiple body piercings, tats and bell bottoms. Shit, you should see the men. Enthusiasm, no, outright glee, must be tempered, for it's a slippery slope out there. Now is the time when the real winners focus and bury "the man" while we've got him down, no? Pressing ahead...

You're laying a lot of points there, Hip.

All favorites?

You're laying a lot of points there, Hip.

DO NOT fuck with 12-4!!!!

Truth be told I had a twitch on OSU @ Ty Willingham U. Take the 4.5. I just didn't have the stones to play it. Jake Locker the frosh QB is better than Mallett or Clausen. More in keeping with my charitable mood would have been taking USC and laying the 10 against Big Red. I think they smoke 'em but I couldn't get ZGoshboots, my resident Husker expert (a man who called the Big Red outright Bowl win over U-M on the DetNews board and looked like a fucking seer) on the blower by deadline. Again you can't pick too many. I'm pushing it with 4 in college & pro.

I likey.

I'm a pussy that never bets until after week one to sort out the mess, but I'll be back in it this week and I'm leaning Hipp's Way on quite a few of these.

Who knows? You might help a few of us out. You know the ones....The ones that can't afford a bus ticket out of Detroit. I'll have to by a few as I bring a few old pals with me along for the ride like Fox Mulder, Ben Folds and Banned on the Run.

I'll be back later to post my NFL Picks, Mr. Diggit. I say we have a Book Bet on the record at the end of the year, but we'll have to stipulate the number of picks we go each week. Fuck College. I'll just be riding your coattails(how the eff do I spell that?) on the young fellas.

I think I may know you. You don't have to fuck around with shit like "Eff" on this site. Belly up to the bar and lay waste. This is home to a Goshboot named Zip. You may remember him from a far away dry county? Huh? Oh never mind. I'm nervous this weekend. 7-1 scared the shit out of me. You know how this shit goes. I'm hoping the tank is full and the water temp manageable.

The bastards have me working Saturday,(yeah, a pain in the NECK) so I'll probably have my picks up late Saturday night.

Fantasy Start 'Ems....

Santonio
Brees
The Good AP

Sit EVERYONE on the Cardinals, besides Edge, including Fitz and Boldin until further notice(From the Actual PlayCalling of Cards) unless you have no other options.

Maybe we need a little Fantasy Column on here. (Maybe they hate it, or already have one, too fucking lazy to look right now)

For now?

Out

P.S. Cool to see some old friends on a new site.

Hey, welcome to WTF, we've been waiting for you.

This sounds like a good idea to me, send something in.

Also, my 2-6 record this weekend has me thinking that I need to go back to following Hip's lead from now on.

Raul, it is good to have you here. A refugee from a long, lost world since taken over by la coockarochas.
You are welcome here, my friend. Wash your soul of the old place: desperate, barren, and waylayed by the soul less, those who roam the intranets searching for themselves, and finding it amid the dregs of hypocrisy,lies, and constructed reality.

As I live and breathe, Momma told me there'd be days like this. Last weekend, coming off a 7-1 week, was the gamblers version of, for those who actually play the game, the dreaded "trap game." Oh yeah, you got the chest out, I'm quitting the day job, when the 'ole axiom, "What goes up, must come down", pops into your craw as you carefully look over the menu like some discriminating food critic. Doubts creep in, "Am I really this good?" and you pass on things you might normally select because you're all, "No, that's too obvious", and conversely, you get cute and take bonehead shit like BYU bouncing back from a UCLA asskicking for a "cover" against a Tulsa team that was both quicker and better prepared. UCLA you ask? Uh, next question. So the Lions once again reverted to Lion form, making a 10-point lead disappear to give me a push, which rendered me 3-4-1 for the week. Now, at 15-8-1 ATS for the year, I'm over it. There's GOLD in this weeks "Bill O' Fare!" Get on my back!!

So George W. forms a complete sentence, monkeys fall out of trees, the blind squirrel finds the occasional acorn and 'Ole Hip plunges just below the "Mendoza Line" (to pillage from the fat headed Chris Berman). IT HAPPENS!! Purdon't and Indy blow cozy leads to shove me off the plank and render me 3-4-1 for the week. For those following along at home that is 18-12-2 on the year. The way I look at it, I've got 'em right where I want them and I've got this negative piece of business off the books. This is a marathon, not a stinkin' sprint. Thank God. Moving forward…

Coach Leavitt has these guys perched for national recognition and I think he fully expects to win this thing outright. The +7.5 is the gravy.
TAKE USF + 7.5

Nice call, Hip.

2,000+ words* of pure, unadulterated degenerative gambling advice.

October 4, 2007

Okay class, today, as I look back on last weekend’s exercise in futility, I keep thinking of the word "patient." You are all literary souls, as evidenced by the fact that you are reading this hideous column, so you know that it can mean two things. 1.) A patient is anyone receiving care or treatment. 2.) To be "patient" is to endure trying circumstances. How about I cop to all of the above? I "kiss sis'" and go 4-4 on the week which brings me to a very respectable 22-16-2 or 58% "Against the Spread", thus far. However, I've been getting "dinged" by showing my largess in laying points with heavy favorites only to have them fall asleep at the wheel due to the tedium induced by comatose opponents. Note Pur-don't jumping out to a 23 point lead against the Fainting Irish and OSU doing same to Minny-ha-ha and both not finishing. This shit makes for very trying circumstances, and if it continues, I will be a patient soon at the Caro State Home, where the only thing that I will have that reminds me of football will be the helmet on my dome as I stand out by the fence. Ahem, moving forward!

October 12, 2007

Last week, Stanford beat USC. Got it! Nine of ten of the Top 10 have losses by the sixth week of the season. Uh-huh! So, I'm over here with hard earned "zord" in hand trying to pick this shit? I go 3-5 on the week, which puts me at a very ho-hum 25-21-2 on the year ATS. If this continues, the three treatment centers whose telephone numbers I have at the ready next to the "blower" will be getting a call to see if they accept my medical plan. I may be down, but I'm certainly not out. My beloved USF had a let down against a guy named Schnellenberger in Boca Raton last Saturday? MSU can't tackle me on the way to the sled, even with a case of Patron Tequila as I walk out of All American Liquors. On top of all that, I don't make the play that I loved: Illinois over Cheezitz, because those bastards have "fondued" me more times than I can count. Oh, the woulda'-coulda'- shouldas' make my heart skip. Like an old degenerate compadre once said, "...that's why we do it!!" Pressing on…

The four hour cruise down I-95 from Daytona Beach Shores to Miami is as coma-inducing as the Mike DeBored playbook. Take the same ride at night and it can be treacherous. My wife has volunteered to be my co-pilot on this desperate mission. Destination? The Miami Serpentarium. The task at hand? See if we can cajole a highly paid professional to extract this snake that has crawled way up my asshole, my "brown eye" (the one that stinks, not the one that winks). My less than smashing 3-5 ATS last week has me in near crisis mode. Desperation calls for desperate measures, no? While on the season I'm at 28-26-2 ATS, above the demarcation line, no one is going to confuse with me Amarillo Slim anytime soon. This is the right call. I'm certain of it. It only hurts for a little while.

The outpatient service was fine at the Miami Serpentarium, even if the results propelled me into the win column by only a one game margin for the week. Little victories, no? The experience was fairly painless, other than the fact that their version of "Nurse Ratchett" seemed fairly non-plussed upon my presenting my Cigna Health Card for payment due. Some formality about her being skeptical a "Snake Removal from Rectum" would fall under "Procedures Covered" on my benefit plan. My argument that this was an occupational hazard, me being a degenerate gambler, doing the dog paddle trepidaciously close to my own personal Niagara Falls of "loserville" fell upon deaf ears. Details, details. Hey, if nothing else, we have proved to be a "results-driven" society and my 4-3-1 week was a resounding triumph after 3 weeks of slogging along at room temperature. I'll call the operation a success. The snake is dead. The tote board now has "Old Hip" at 32-29-3 ATS thus far. Any interpretation of that makes me a winner. Let's do this thing.

November 2, 2007

Did I once say that I'm not much of a trend player? Sweet Creepin' Jesus, I've become a human contradiction. The trend? Going 4-4, or thereabouts, every weekend and getting "juiced" to death. Never have there been wiser words muttered than, "the 11-10 gets you in the end." So, while I am 36-33-2 ATS to date, this is a losing proposition. The 7-1 start (and I warned you) now looks, in hindsight, to be "fool’s gold" or administering the "hook" into the corner of "Ole' Hips" yapper. What infuriates me the most is that I fly against my sage advice from earlier in the year of "I'm on those Patriots until "Arnold" pries my cold fingers from them with the jaws of life." WTF happened to that? "Ole' Hip" gets too smart for his own good and reads all this shit into the scenario: the Redskins have a good ""D" (huh?), "looking ahead to the Colts”... blah x3. Shut the fuck up and lay the $$$$ down on the Pats. Then, of course, Southwestern Mississippi decided to turn into a football power and beat the burgeoning FB power, Kentucky Mildcats, at their place. This cost the Cats a small fortune in revenue because it will keep them from going to a bowl game someone may have heard of. Of course, this miserable weekend was topped off with more frosting for the legacy cake of Brett Favre. At like "Zero-Dark Thirty" in the morning, he finds that no-name from Kalamazoo down the sideline, beating that loud mouth Dre Bly, who makes $117M a year. The saving grace is, we got to ogle his hot wife awhile longer. The downside? "Hip" is rendered 4-4 instead of 5-3. Fuck me with a stick!!

WHERE'S HIPDIGIT?

Wonder how ol' HipDigIt is faring betting on his Sparty this year


The Spartans, who became the first team to go 0-for-5 against the Las Vegas point spread this season, threw for only 11 yards and scored only a field goal in an uninspiring second half.

Oh...

I used to think sometimes that Zip and HipDigIt were the same person.
